Copy & Translate Journey
Copy & Translate allows you to create a translated copy of an existing journey in a different language. This is useful when you need to deliver the same content to audiences in multiple languages.
Overview
When you copy and translate a journey:
- A new draft journey is created with all content translated
- The original journey remains unchanged
- Language overrides are automatically configured
- AI Guide settings are preserved and translated Open in Gryffi:

Automatic Settings
When a translated copy is created, the following settings are automatically configured:
Language Override
- Journey Interface Language: Set to the target language
- AI Guide Language Override: Set to the target language
AI Guide Opening Override
If the original journey has a central AI Guide, the guide's greeting is translated and stored as a static "Opening sentence override". This means:
- The opening sentence loads instantly (no AI generation delay)
- More reliable than dynamic generation
- Can be manually edited if needed
Supported Languages
You can translate to any of the supported languages:
Base Languages
English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish
Extended Languages
Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, Polish, Romanian, Turkish
After Translation
Once the translation is complete:
- The new journey opens in the builder
- Review the translated content
- Make manual adjustments if needed
- The journey is saved as a draft
- Publish when ready
Editing the Opening Override
If you need to adjust the AI Guide's translated opening sentence:
- Open the translated journey in the builder
- Click on empty canvas space to open Journey Settings
- Find "AI Guide language" section
- Edit the "Opening sentence override" textarea
- Save the journey
Tips
- Review translations: AI translations are generally accurate, but always review important content
- Quiz answers: Double-check that quiz answer options are correctly translated
- Placeholders: Variables like
{{name}}are preserved during translation - HTML formatting: Bold, italic, and other formatting is preserved
- Combine with the Journey Wizard: a common workflow is to build a first-language version with the Journey Wizard (which generates steps, texts and optionally an AI Guide) and then use Copy & Translate to produce localized copies for other language groups. See: journey-wizard.
Translation Progress
During translation, you'll see a progress bar with these stages:
- Loading - Fetching journey data
- Translating - AI is translating content (this takes the longest)
- Creating - Saving the new journey
- Creating Steps - Copying and saving translated steps
- Creating Paths - Copying path connections
- Done - Translation complete
Troubleshooting
Translation is slow
AI translation can take 30 seconds to several minutes depending on the amount of content. Be patient and don't close the window.
Some content not translated
Check if the content type is in the "What Gets Translated" list. Some advanced settings may not be translated.
Translation failed
If translation fails, try again. If the problem persists, contact support.
